I run an inbetween of wet and dry. Pretty dark but not really dark or really light color.

How is it?

They use a different pump right?

Looks like good skimmate to me.

We went down there for the rally but it was mobbed, couldn't get within a block.

I usually ran my skimmer more on the wet side. It seems like it pulls out more particulate matter, at least it appeared to.

I really like it. I believe it uses a Sedra 1000 pump.
